The
meaner
families
who
have
children
at
these
nurseries
,
are
obliged
,
besides
their
annual
pension
,
which
is
as
low
as
possible
,
to
return
to
the
steward
of
the
nursery
a
small
monthly
share
of
their
gettings
,
to
be
a
portion
for
the
child
;
and
therefore
all
parents
are
limited
in
their
expenses
by
the
law
.
For
the
Lilliputians
think
nothing
can
be
more
unjust
,
than
for
people
,
in
subservience
to
their
own
appetites
,
to
bring
children
into
the
world
,
and
leave
the
burthen
of
supporting
them
on
the
public
.
As
to
persons
of
quality
,
they
give
security
to
appropriate
a
certain
sum
for
each
child
,
suitable
to
their
condition
;
and
these
funds
are
always
managed
with
good
husbandry
and
the
most
exact
justice
.
The
cottagers
and
labourers
keep
their
children
at
home
,
their
business
being
only
to
till
and
cultivate
the
earth
,
and
therefore
their
education
is
of
little
consequence
to
the
public
:
but
the
old
and
diseased
among
them
,
are
supported
by
hospitals
;
for
begging
is
a
trade
unknown
in
this
empire
.
And
here
it
may
,
perhaps
,
divert
the
curious
reader
,
to
give
some
account
of
my
domestics
,
and
my
manner
of
living
in
this
country
,
during
a
residence
of
nine
months
,
and
thirteen
days
.
Having
a
head
mechanically
turned
,
and
being
likewise
forced
by
necessity
,
I
had
made
for
myself
a
table
and
chair
convenient
enough
,
out
of
the
largest
trees
in
the
royal
park
.
Two
hundred
sempstresses
were
employed
to
make
me
shirts
,
and
linen
for
my
bed
and
table
,
all
of
the
strongest
and
coarsest
kind
they
could
get
;
which
,
however
,
they
were
forced
to
quilt
together
in
several
folds
,
for
the
thickest
was
some
degrees
finer
than
lawn
.
Their
linen
is
usually
three
inches
wide
,
and
three
feet
make
a
piece
.
The
sempstresses
took
my
measure
as
I
lay
on
the
ground
,
one
standing
at
my
neck
,
and
another
at
my
mid-leg
,
with
a
strong
cord
extended
,
that
each
held
by
the
end
,
while
a
third
measured
the
length
of
the
cord
with
a
rule
of
an
inch
long
.
Then
they
measured
my
right
thumb
,
and
desired
no
more
;
for
by
a
mathematical
computation
,
that
twice
round
the
thumb
is
once
round
the
wrist
,
and
so
on
to
the
neck
and
the
waist
,
and
by
the
help
of
my
old
shirt
,
which
I
displayed
on
the
ground
before
them
for
a
pattern
,
they
fitted
me
exactly
.
Three
hundred
tailors
were
employed
in
the
same
manner
to
make
me
clothes
;
but
they
had
another
contrivance
for
taking
my
measure
.
I
kneeled
down
,
and
they
raised
a
ladder
from
the
ground
to
my
neck
;
upon
this
ladder
one
of
them
mounted
,
and
let
fall
a
plumb-line
from
my
collar
to
the
floor
,
which
just
answered
the
length
of
my
coat
:
but
my
waist
and
arms
I
measured
myself
.
When
my
clothes
were
finished
,
which
was
done
in
my
house
(
for
the
largest
of
theirs
would
not
have
been
able
to
hold
them
)
,
they
looked
like
the
patch-work
made
by
the
ladies
in
England
,
only
that
mine
were
all
of
a
colour
.
I
had
three
hundred
cooks
to
dress
my
victuals
,
in
little
convenient
huts
built
about
my
house
,
where
they
and
their
families
lived
,
and
prepared
me
two
dishes
a-piece
.
I
took
up
twenty
waiters
in
my
hand
,
and
placed
them
on
the
table
:
a
hundred
more
attended
below
on
the
ground
,
some
with
dishes
of
meat
,
and
some
with
barrels
of
wine
and
other
liquors
slung
on
their
shoulders
;
all
which
the
waiters
above
drew
up
,
as
I
wanted
,
in
a
very
ingenious
manner
,
by
certain
cords
,
as
we
draw
the
bucket
up
a
well
in
Europe
.
A
dish
of
their
meat
was
a
good
mouthful
,
and
a
barrel
of
their
liquor
a
reasonable
draught
.
Their
mutton
yields
to
ours
,
but
their
beef
is
excellent
.
I
have
had
a
sirloin
so
large
,
that
I
have
been
forced
to
make
three
bites
of
it
;
but
this
is
rare
.
My
servants
were
astonished
to
see
me
eat
it
,
bones
and
all
,
as
in
our
country
we
do
the
leg
of
a
lark
.
Their
geese
and
turkeys
I
usually
ate
at
a
mouthful
,
and
I
confess
they
far
exceed
ours
.
Of
their
smaller
fowl
I
could
take
up
twenty
or
thirty
at
the
end
of
my
knife
.
One
day
his
imperial
majesty
,
being
informed
of
my
way
of
living
,
desired
"
that
himself
and
his
royal
consort
,
with
the
young
princes
of
the
blood
of
both
sexes
,
might
have
the
happiness
,
"
as
he
was
pleased
to
call
it
,
"
of
dining
with
me
.
"
They
came
accordingly
,
and
I
placed
them
in
chairs
of
state
,
upon
my
table
,
just
over
against
me
,
with
their
guards
about
them
.
Flimnap
,
the
lord
high
treasurer
,
attended
there
likewise
with
his
white
staff
;
and
I
observed
he
often
looked
on
me
with
a
sour
countenance
,
which
I
would
not
seem
to
regard
,
but
ate
more
than
usual
,
in
honour
to
my
dear
country
,
as
well
as
to
fill
the
court
with
admiration
.
I
have
some
private
reasons
to
believe
,
that
this
visit
from
his
majesty
gave
Flimnap
an
opportunity
of
doing
me
ill
offices
to
his
master
.
That
minister
had
always
been
my
secret
enemy
,
though
he
outwardly
caressed
me
more
than
was
usual
to
the
moroseness
of
his
nature
.
He
represented
to
the
emperor
"
the
low
condition
of
his
treasury
;
that
he
was
forced
to
take
up
money
at
a
great
discount
;
that
exchequer
bills
would
not
circulate
under
nine
per
cent
.
below
par
;
that
I
had
cost
his
majesty
above
a
million
and
a
half
of
sprugs
"
(
(
their
greatest
gold
coin
,
about
the
bigness
of
a
spangle
)
)
"
and
,
upon
the
whole
,
that
it
would
be
advisable
in
the
emperor
to
take
the
first
fair
occasion
of
dismissing
me
.
"
I
am
here
obliged
to
vindicate
the
reputation
of
an
excellent
lady
,
who
was
an
innocent
sufferer
upon
my
account
.
The
treasurer
took
a
fancy
to
be
jealous
of
his
wife
,
from
the
malice
of
some
evil
tongues
,
who
informed
him
that
her
grace
had
taken
a
violent
affection
for
my
person
;
and
the
court
scandal
ran
for
some
time
,
that
she
once
came
privately
to
my
lodging
.
This
I
solemnly
declare
to
be
a
most
infamous
falsehood
,
without
any
grounds
,
further
than
that
her
grace
was
pleased
to
treat
me
with
all
innocent
marks
of
freedom
and
friendship
.
I
own
she
came
often
to
my
house
,
but
always
publicly
,
nor
ever
without
three
more
in
the
coach
,
who
were
usually
her
sister
and
young
daughter
,
and
some
particular
acquaintance
;
but
this
was
common
to
many
other
ladies
of
the
court
.
And
I
still
appeal
to
my
servants
round
,
whether
they
at
any
time
saw
a
coach
at
my
door
,
without
knowing
what
persons
were
in
it
.
On
those
occasions
,
when
a
servant
had
given
me
notice
,
my
custom
was
to
go
immediately
to
the
door
,
and
,
after
paying
my
respects
,
to
take
up
the
coach
and
two
horses
very
carefully
in
my
hands
(
(
for
,
if
there
were
six
horses
,
the
postillion
always
unharnessed
four
,
)
)
and
place
them
on
a
table
,
where
I
had
fixed
a
movable
rim
quite
round
,
of
five
inches
high
,
to
prevent
accidents
.
And
I
have
often
had
four
coaches
and
horses
at
once
on
my
table
,
full
of
company
,
while
I
sat
in
my
chair
,
leaning
my
face
towards
them
;
and
when
I
was
engaged
with
one
set
,
the
coachmen
would
gently
drive
the
others
round
my
table
.
I
have
passed
many
an
afternoon
very
agreeably
in
these
conversations
.
But
I
defy
the
treasurer
,
or
his
two
informers
(
(
I
will
name
them
,
and
let
them
make
the
best
of
it
)
)
Clustril
and
Drunlo
,
to
prove
that
any
person
ever
came
to
me
incognito
,
except
the
secretary
Reldresal
,
who
was
sent
by
express
command
of
his
imperial
majesty
,
as
I
have
before
related
.
I
should
not
have
dwelt
so
long
upon
this
particular
,
if
it
had
not
been
a
point
wherein
the
reputation
of
a
great
lady
is
so
nearly
concerned
,
to
say
nothing
of
my
own
;
though
I
then
had
the
honour
to
be
a
nardac
,
which
the
treasurer
himself
is
not
;
for
all
the
world
knows
,
that
he
is
only
a
glumglum
,
a
title
inferior
by
one
degree
,
as
that
of
a
marquis
is
to
a
duke
in
England
;
yet
I
allow
he
preceded
me
in
right
of
his
post
.
These
false
informations
,
which
I
afterwards
came
to
the
knowledge
of
by
an
accident
not
proper
to
mention
,
made
the
treasurer
show
his
lady
for
some
time
an
ill
countenance
,
and
me
a
worse
;
and
although
he
was
at
last
undeceived
and
reconciled
to
her
,
yet
I
lost
all
credit
with
him
,
and
found
my
interest
decline
very
fast
with
the
emperor
himself
,
who
was
,
indeed
,
too
much
governed
by
that
favourite
.
Before
I
proceed
to
give
an
account
of
my
leaving
this
kingdom
,
it
may
be
proper
to
inform
the
reader
of
a
private
intrigue
which
had
been
for
two
months
forming
against
me
.
